The easiest and most cost effective way to deck-out the store would be to fill the area behind and around the counter with actual game cartridges. A lot of people still have them in their collection and they can be easily borrowed over the weekend without remuneration. While looking for a location to shoot, in fact, Brian and I visited a vintage game store which simply had a wall of un-boxed, used NES games on the wall behind the register. it was great and would be really cheap to reproduce.
Ex:
The next tier of things are actual ads for video games. these are not easy to borrow, not because they are treasured, but simply because they were essentially trash. They can be found easily enough on Ebay. Note: every Nintendo Power Magazine, Gamepro Magazine, and Electronic Gaming Monthly, from the 80's/early 90's came with a free poster! buying a lot of these babies will almost certainly be cheaper than trying to find single posters. Again the era to look for is like 1988-1994ish.
Ex:
The other, possibly higher ticket set of items to look for would be actual displays. we may have to hunt around for these, but so long as we find cool ones, it will be worth it. hopefully, even if we drop $100 or more, the resale value of things like this won't fall during the making of the movie...
Ex:
As far as the actual interiors of the store, they will depend exclusively on the location. A lot of these things are small and incidental, but realistically we will only be able to hang small background elements.
Thanks!
